What does eko mean? Name?

What does yehn mean? Pertaining to?

Hulu? The land of?

Eyan? People of?

These sounds familiar.

"eko" has few meanings depending on the context. It's meaning from the context of the above statement is "is".

"Yehn" has meaning, but do you mean to write "yegn"? If so, then it means "our".

"hulu" means "all".

"eyan" isn't a meaningful word by itself. It's used as suffixe. It's used to refer a person to a given county/continent. Just like English language says, Ethiopian, Nigerian, African and European. Amharagn/Amharic also says, Ethiopiyaweyan, Nigeriyaweyan, Africaweyan, Aweropiyaweyan/Europeyaweyan and so on....

We have our own Fidel(alphabet), so it isn't difficult to write our language.

Wow good, your syllables sounds familiar with the Yoruba but mutually unintelligible. The only word in the list we have closer in meaning is eyan, meaning person/people.

You doing a great job hati.

Yoruba's ÚLÚ is archaic to ILÚ which is a word for Community /Town/state/Country to which one belongs or other belong. It is used at times used as descriptive word to aid another. For example ÚLÚ/ILÚ EKO, ÚLÚ/ILÚ OYO. Gbo gbo is more accurately used for “ALL" in Yoruba land. For example, gbo gbo omo ÚLÚ/ILÚ= ALL The citizens of the community, state, etc.

She is confusing you with Somalian trolls.... they used to come here and open threads about how Somalians are supposedly prettier and better than West Africans... they stopped last year.

Hati13:

Just give me one or two weeks for your happiness, I will leave for good!
